Dave Deibert, online editor at The StarPhoenix and mixed-martial-arts reporter for the Postmedia News chain, loves sports, TV, movies and music (pop culture in general), so he hates it when any of the above waste his time by sucking. He loves sleeping in, but with two daughters, doesn't get too many chances. He's 6-foot-5 so he likes big beds and tall shower heads.<br />

Throughout his life, he's managed to be a pretty good athlete without running fast or jumping high. Rather than remembering important things, his brain is filled with copious amounts of useless knowledge, plus just enough of the big stuff to trick people into thinking he knows more than he does.<br />

His best friends have filled their role anywhere from 10 to 30 years, and he thinks he's lucky for that. He prefers summer over winter, orange is his favourite type of juice, and during a night out his drink of choice is gin and club soda with a squeeze of lime. He believes in skipping class or leaving work on hot days to go for ice cream, that Plinko is the best game on The Price Is Right, and that men should treat women with care. He reads two or three books a month, never puts dressing on salads and despises slow left-lane drivers. He's sarcastic and occasionally inappropriate, but people usually find that charming.
